Water, snacks and more supplies for clients at branches, with healthy food available for free at the Wood Buffalo Food Bank
FORT MCMURRAY, AB, June 3, 2016 /CNW/ - Team CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) is pitching in to help make the transition home easier for clients after the re-opening of its two Banking Centres this week.
Both branches have bottled water and snacks, as well as supplies of hand sanitizers and air pollution masks to give out.
CIBC has also been working with the Alberta Food Banks. Together, with its employees, Team CIBC donated nearly $400,000 to support an emergency food drive. To help the people of Fort McMurray refill their fridges and restock their cupboards with healthy food, CIBC encourages residents to visit the Wood Buffalo Food Bank when it reopens.

"We've been part of the community for 52 years and we are here to help Fort McMurray recover and rebuild," said Tom Weber, Senior Vice President and Region Head, Alberta, CIBC. "In times of need, we have a strong tradition of pulling together."
The branches are open from 12-5 p.m. through Sunday, and will resume normal business hours on June 6. To support our clients with any financial questions upon their return home, both branches will also open on Sunday, June 12 from 12-5 p.m. In addition, clients are invited to call 1-877-454-9030 to discuss their specific financial concerns.
